While the game is relatively new to New York, the USA has an interesting history in Rugby League. In late 1953, the American All Stars followed up on their tour of Australia and New Zealand by visiting France. The squad was quite different to the previous tourists and many of the players had never played Rugby League. It is detailed in the book ‘No Helmets Required’.

The rookie team had lost their first game to Languedoc XIII Rugby League selection 30 American All Stars 22. They experience narrow defeats against Albi and the Espoirs de France in Perpignan. But the Americans were quick learners and keen to improve in their next outing against Provence at the Stade de Saint-Ruf at Avignon. Despite getting off to the worst possible start by losing Virgil Elwess to injury and conceding two quick fire tries through winger Maigre. The USA Team starting playing to their potential.
